JAMES EYNON AND \VILLIAM D. EYNON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

APPARATUS FOR ROLLING DESIGNS UPON STRIPS 0R BARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 699,795, dated May 13,1902.

Application filed December 31, 1896. Serial No. 617,574. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAMEs EYNON and WILLIAM D. EYNON, citizens of theUnited States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Apparatusfor Rolling Designs Upon Strips, Bars, 850., of which the following is aspecification.

Heretofore in the art of rolling designs or configurations upon metalstrips or bars it has been the practice to chip the desired contour,device, or configuration upon the roll by hand,and since this involveshighly-skilled labor great expense is thereby incurred, and in case ofany injury to the roll the same being worthless cannot be replacedexcept at great expense.

By our invention we cast upon a roll,-ring, or collar the desiredconfiguration and afterward finish or turn the peripheral portion of thecast roll adjacent to the device, design, or configuration, so that asmooth or finished periphery exists on either side of the said design,the collar being then secured to the roll in any convenient manner, andthe metal to be rolled being passed between said collar having thedesign cast thereon and a contiguous roll, whereby the desiredconfiguration is imparted to the finished article.

It further consists of novel details of construction, all as will behereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a roll having thereon a castring or collar embodying our invention, showing also the manner inwhich'the completed article is rolled. Fig. 2 represents a perspectiveview of the completed article. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of amodified construction of collar and means for assembling the same on itsroll.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre-' sponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, we first cast a collar or ring R, having aconfiguration S, as shown in Fig. 1. The ring R is next centered, andthe portions T on either side of the configurations Sare now turned orfinished to the desired extent, the walls or roll-sections U of the ringor collarR beingin the present instance of greater diameter than thefinished portions T, as will be understood from Fig. 1.

V designates an auxiliary roll which is mounted on the shaft W, saidroll being in the present instance provided with the finished portions Wand the raised central portion X, although it will of course be evidentthat the con tour of the latter may be changed according torequirements, it being noted, however, that in the act of rolling, as in-the present instance, the finished portions W are directly under thefinished portions T of the collar R, while the angular ridge or centralraised portion X serves to force the metal of the bar or strip Y intothe design or device S on the collar R, the finished article being seenin Fig. 2, the same having the finished edges Z and the design Atherebetween.

The collar R is supported and actuated in any suitable manner, the samebeing in the present instance mounted on a shaft B, which latter isprovided with a shoulder 0, against which one face of said collar abuts,the other face of said collar R having a collar or washer D contactingtherewith, said collar being screwed upon the threaded portion E of theshaft B.

It will thus be evident that by producing a c'astroll in the mannerdescribed with the device, design, or configuration cast therein andafterward turning or finishing one or both of the peripheral edges ofthe same adjacent to said. design that we are enabled to equip a plantfor the purpose of rolling bars, such as Y, (seen in Fig. 2,) at agreatly-reduced cost as compared with a plant equipped with collars orrolls in which the configurations or designs S are chipped or otherwiseproduced therein by, hand, as is nowthe practice.

It will of course be apparent that we may attach the collar R to itsshaft in any suitable manner other than that shown and that the finishedportions '1 may be V-shaped, grooved, or curved or given any desiredconfiguration without departing from the spirit of our invention.

In Fig. 3 we have shown another embodiment of the principle of ourinvention, A designating the cast collar, having the desired device ordesign castthereon, while the turned or finished shoulder B is integralwith the flange C of the roll D In like manner the turned or finishedshoulder E can be integral with the collar F or, if desired, theportions 0 and F may be loose washers. In Fig. 1,

we claim as new, and desire'to secure by Letters Patent, is-,

1. In an apparatus of the character named, a roll for making ornamentalconfigurations, consisting of an ornamental ring or collar havingtherein the device to be impressed, the portions adjacent to said devicebeing peripherally turned or finished and a plurality of roll-sectionshaving turned or trued shoulders thereon, adapted to contact with saidring or collar, in combination with means for clampingsaid collar andsections together.

2. In an apparatus of the character named,

a roll for making ornamental configurations,-

consisting of an ornamental ring or collar having-therein the device tobe impressed, the

portions adjacent to said device being peripherally turned or finished,a plurality of rollsections having turned or trned shoulders thereon,adapted to contact with said ring or collar, and means for clamping saidcollar and sections together, in combination with a second roll locatedin proximity to said first-mentioned roll and means for rotating one ofsaid rolls.

3. In an apparatus of the character named, a roll for making ornamentalconfigurations, the same consisting of an ornamental ring or collarhaving cast therein the device to be impressed, the portions adjacent tosaid device being peripherally turned or trued so as to impart afinished appearance to the edges of the article rolled, and a pluralityof roll-sections having turned or trued shoulders thereon, adapted tocontact with said ringor collar, in combination with means for clampingsaid collar and sections together.

4. In an apparatus of the character named, a collar or ringhaving castin the periphery thereof a design or device, in combination with a rollhaving a turned or trued'shoulder thereon, adapted to contact with saidcollar, a loose collar having a turned or trued shoulder adapted tocontact with said first-mentioned collar and means for clamping said001* [ars in position.
